Dennis Gould running for Saugus School Committee

Fellow Saugus Residents!

  My legal name is Joseph “Dennis” Gould, but I go by Dennis in Saugus and with my extended family and friends.

  Except for four years active Military duty during the Vietnam Era, I have lived in Saugus my whole life.

  I am a Saugus High graduate.

  I have served on the Saugus Disability Commission, four years as Secretary; the Cemetery Commission, 10 years as Chairman; two years on the Playground Committee; four years on the Town Meeting, Precinct 10; four years on the School Committee; and the past five years on the School Committee Policy and Athletic Sub Committees.

  Back when Veterans Memorial was K-5, I organized, led and volunteered for five years at the Library to make sure our young students could come to the Library each week and check out a book to read and return the previous week’s book.

  While on the School Committee, I led the effort to get a Librarian hired for new 2-5 Belmonte and music/arts teachers for K-5.

  I, along with Tom Whittredge, served on a committee with K-5 teachers, to identify the new equipment, desks, storage, chairs, classrooms, lunch area tables etc. so Teachers had a voice in the renovated Veterans Memorial and Belmonte Schools.

  I also served on the School Committee through the challenging times of the COVID Pandemic and was part of the team that introduced and funded the new curriculum in our four schools which is starting to pay dividends in students’ scoring and preparing them for life after Saugus District schooling.

  I am a strong supporter of Saugus Sachems arts, band, chorus and athletics. I believe these extra-curricular, organized programs, teach our students teamwork, leadership, problem solving, discipline and social skills that better prepares them for life after High School, regardless if graduates pursue crafts, workforce, college or the Military.

  You have probably seen me at band, chorus, drama or sporting events because I go to as many as I can to support our students.

  If you see me, feel free to come up and speak with me about any School District questions or question me on how I stand on any subject concerning our district.

  I respectively request you consider giving me one of your votes for School Committee, and I promise I will give it my all to assure our students and teachers have the resources they need to reach their full educational potential.

  Thank You

Dennis Gould for Saugus School Committee
